jaete posted:Hey friends, asking for advice again. A friend of mine has been living in London for many years. Some five years ago he didn't have much money, so he asked the council for some mercy on the council tax. As I understand it the council reduced his council tax to zero temporarily (I think?) and also even paid him some living support or whatever it was, a bit of money each month straight to his bank account, for a couple years. Definitely try to not pay it if it's bullshit, but worst case I think HMRC debts can be paid interest-free over 10 years of not more (I've been paying £20.83 per month for overpaid benefits for about five years now and probably ought to check when I can expect to stop)

Tesseraction posted:Honestly the loving gall of it talking about the cost once house price is taken into account. Housing should not be the central loving commodity for gently caress's sake. I don't know, if it helps people to feel like it's a good decision even if they're not set on staying in their current home for 20 years it's probably a good thing, the more people we get chucking solar on their roofs the better (I'd like to do ours but we're probably moving in two years if not sooner so it'd be an expensive way to help the planet.)

smellmycheese posted:https://twitter.com/nytodaynew/status/1665194554956591111?s=46&t=m_nNbkNoHG4lLitcpyHReg The funniest part of that article is "Meanwhile The Mail on Sunday has learned that Prince Andrew has invited family friend Katherine Keating, 41, daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, to Epstein’s mansion. He was pictured looking around the doorway of the disgraced billionaire’s home on December 6, 2010 as he said goodbye to him. A source said: ‘Andrew told Emily Maitlis in her Newsnight interview that he had gone to New York to cut ties with Epstein, so it seems counter-intuitive that he felt comfortable enough to invite an old friend of the family to have tea. You must be wondering what he was thinking?" I was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there. e: 10 is the number on the door of a house in London often frequented by terrible nonces

@Camrath I might have suggested this before but have you tried approaching your local National Trust sites as potential stockists? It's a bit of a ballache to get set up and there are a million fudge companies around already but yours is genuinely excellent and good local products always go down well. Probably worth a quick email or two, maybe drop some samples off to a couple of shop managers and let them push it through the system of they're keen.

Jedit posted:There's nothing to get in Friends. A friend of mine inflicted an episode on me and there literally weren't any jokes in it. One of the male leads who isn't David Schwimmer opens the door and enters the apartment. The laugh track goes off. My friend laughs, a Pavlovian response. Repeat for 23 minutes. Friends was filmed in front of an audience iirc

If we're talking British comedies of yesteryear then Green Wing will always be one of my absolute favourites. Some level of yikes in a 2023 re-watch as with pretty much any show unfortunately but the good stuff is just stellar, Mark Heap and Michelle Gomez managing to stand out in an impressively strong field. e: Black Books also very good, I think really you can trust most things that have Tamsin Grieg in for whatever reason. Which leads me to Friday Night Dinner (also featuring Mark Heap) which was very good for a number of years, and then I think about the other works of Robert Popper including Look Around You and one of my recent favourites Stath Lets Flats. Following chains of actors/writers through comedy shows is fun, sometimes it's nice to have a relatively small scene. e2: And of course Tamsin Grieg (and Stephen Mangan too) were in Episodes with Matt Le Blanc, which takes us neatly back to where we started! sebzilla fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jun 14, 2023 |

Dead Goon posted:Green Wing is excellent. The scene transitions with speeding/slowing and blurring footage are brilliant for this, along with the soundtrack. And also I think the fact that it's a hospital-based show with approximately zero patient interaction helps build that surreal atmosphere too. e: looks like it's all on YouTube if you don't want to deal with the adverts on Channel 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7v2aHUPp14 sebzilla fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jun 15, 2023 |
